REVIEW OF CURRENT ACTIVITIES
MEMBER STATE: CYPRUS
Yes No
1. Do you collect data on domestic energy consumption? O O
A stand-alone survey on this topic was carried out in 2010 (with 2009 as the reference year) on a pilot basis.
Data are also available on:
(i) the amounts of electricity consumed by the domestic sector on the basis of information provided by the Electricity Authority of Cyprus, which is the sole energy producing enterprise in the country.
(ii) the quantities of petroleum products consumed by the residential sector (estimates based on the monthly returns on the sales of petroleum products by petroleum companies).
1.1 If not, do you plan to start collecting such data? O O
When?
2. If you do collect data on domestic energy consumption, do you use:
survey(s) O O
administrative sources O O
modelling O O
PART A: SURVEYS, ADMINISTRATIVE SOURCES
Part A reviews surveys and administrative sources used at national level. It examines the availability of typical information normally made available by such sources (the recommended coverage was used as benchmark), their quality and associated costs.
3. Please, give the name and a short description of each survey and administrative source used (include any planned survey, the description of which is already available). Include information on collected statistics and users at national level. Indicate how this information is used for policy definition / evaluation. Indicate additional priority user requirements and associated statistics which should be made available in future data collections to be carried out in your country.
The Statistical Service of Cyprus launched for the first time, during the fourth quarter of 2010, an ad hoc survey on energy consumption in households. The financial assistance provided by the European Commission (Eurostat) to the Member States interested in carrying out such surveys was considered as a very good opportunity for further development in the field of final energy consumption statistics, in line with the requirements of the Regulation on Energy Statistics. The fundamental objective of the survey was to obtain a reliable estimate of the final energy consumption of a typical Cypriot household by end use category.
The main statistics collected include: housing stock, household characteristics, consumption /expenditure of energy commodities, space heating, hot water, cooking, electrical appliances, air conditioning, penetration of renewable energy sources and energy consumption by end use.

5 Please, give the name and a short description of each modelling process used:
Some modelling work was carried out in order to estimate the breakdown of fuel consumption by end –use (e.g. space heating and cooling and water heating) and to calculate the energy consumption of various household appliances.
Please see the attached document named ‘Technical assumptions and estimations’ for more detail.
6. For each modelling process identified in Part 5 please describe:
Model Name:…………………………….
1 Source data:
Give an overview of the key data sets that populate the model (surveys, administrative sources, other models). For the various sources, indicate the frequency of the data collection, an estimate of the robustness of the input data, and what other uses are made of the source data.
The data collected from the survey was the source data. Some additional information such as the electricity consumption values per appliance was obtained from various administrative and other sources.
2 Modelling objective:
Specify the objective of the modelling process, in particular whether:
The modelling process is a bottom-up estimation of the total fuel consumption in households (by fuel type and end-use). Specify the fuel(s) and end-uses (space heating / cooling, hot water, cooking, lighting and electrical appliances) modelled. Indicate any other relevant statistics (see recommended coverage in part A, point 4) which are part of the modelling output process.
The modelling process aims at providing disaggregated statistics by end-use, i.e. the breakdown of fuel consumption for space heating, space cooling, water heating, cooking, lighting and electrical appliances.
The modelling process aims at the disaggregation of electricity consumption in households by type of appliance (oven, fridge, compact fluorescent lamps, etc.)
3 Modelling methodology
Please, provide a description of the modelling methodology (including a web-link to published methodological papers). Indicate any external (independent) and internal reviews and their frequencies. Indicate frequency of modelling updates to take account of new technology (i.e. more energy efficient appliances) and new sources of data.
4 Reconciliation with other data
Please, provide an assessment of the accuracy of the modelling process of the overall consumption in the bottom-up approach (case "a" above). Indicate how bottom-up estimates are reconciled with aggregated energy balance data (supply side). What other independent variables are used in the reconciliation process.
Provide as assessment of the accuracy in the case of the disaggregation of total fuel consumption into the various end-uses (case "b" above). What other sources of data are there to validate this element of the modelling against?
5 Uses of the model outputs
Please describe how the results are used to inform / monitor /evaluate national policy. Describe the way the model outputs are published (internet, brochure, CD….), their frequency and timeliness. Give links of most recent results.
The results of the survey on Final Energy Consumption in Households (which of course include the model outputs) were published on the official website of the Statistical Service of Cyprus. They were also sent to the Electricity Authority of Cyprus, for use in various reporting obligations as well as for policy making and monitoring purposes.
6 Cost
Please give an estimate of the amount spent on:
setting up the modelling system (if done recently)
annual cost of purchasing data to populate model or additional cost of carrying out surveys where the outputs are essential input for the modelling work
annual cost of model maintenance/development (staff, IT, etc.)
annual cost of reporting model results
As mentioned in part A above, the total cost of the survey reached €120.000. This amount however cannot be broken down to identify specifically the cost of modelling.
7 Service responsible for the modelling
Please give the name of the service responsible for maintaining and operating the modelling process. Indicate whether it is produced externally under contract.
The modelling process was carried out internally.
